摘要
The first two equations of the BBGKY hierarchy are discussed and solved in order to derive a kinetic equation for an electron gas (non-neutral plasma) where strong electric and magnetic fields as well as inhomogeneities are taken into account on scales relevant for collisions between particles. The gyrotropic assumption is not made. The magnetic field and the inhomogeneities are shown to have special effects on the collision terms. A strong magnetic field approximation is then made in order to simplify the collision term, and a new, proper collision term has been found when a strong magnetic field is present. © 1979, Cambridge University Press.
